The UK government are having talks with all the ISPs and phone companies to force unfiltered access to everyone's data.

@Picklebobble2: Is there any terrorism at all? Maybe it's all staged by the government to scare us into accepting big brother style surveilance "for our protection".

@Gangstress: Cracking down on dissenters ?
Isn't this partly how we lost the experience project ?
It'll be interesting to see if there are more notifications from moderators coming up !!

@suzie1960: They consider a guy driving badly an act or terrorism these days. Any death is sad but, come on, it's not exactly an attack.

@NocturnalNomad: yah I think you're wrong mate. They've asked for details in well random sites.

@Gangstress: Oh, this hasn't happened to me. Read the article. This has nothing to do with anybody asking for details. This is a truly Orwellian nightmare, a complete lack of privacy. Mass public surveillance. Back doors in all your devices so they can rummage about, leaving it vulnerable to hackers.

@NocturnalNomad: just read it. Wtf

@GlassDog: I haven't experience this, what sites are you using? haha

I just use tor if a site is blocked. Although I think I'll be investing in a VPN before all this comes into force.

@NocturnalNomad: Haha! Nothing dodgy. Just about 10% of standard Google searches tell me I can't get to a site. When I use a privacy network and go to the sites, there's nothing at all there that's adult. Just things like philosophy blogs or poetry.

@bookerdana: I hate it when people say, "I have nothing to hide." It isn't a valid argument. You're relinquishing your right to privacy.

I have had the same disagreement with people. I always ask,Would you like the postman to look at all your mail,or an operator to listen to your phone calls?"

@suzie1960: well I'm a brown muslim so I guess that's enough. But ya know I totally cooperate when they stop me at airports, when they don't treat me well, when I have to listen to hatred being spat in my face. But there are bad guys out there and wouldn't you wanna cooperate? I mean we're all on SW which does NOT promise us any encryption, if we're so paranoid why are we still here? This is an easy way to trace all of us, why are we still here if we don't want to accept this reality, instead of boycotting? All the apps that we download require us revealing our contact info, photos, location etc to the app people...why? It's ironic how everyone is complaining on SOCIAL MEDIA about no privacy....instead of actually taking a constructive step for our rights, if we even have those.

So who are "the bad guys"? The terrorists the government keep insisting are out there or the government itself?

@suzie1960: 😱 that reference.
